Rules of Engagement novel Chapter 168

"Your favorite. Beef pies." Elsa smiled and went to take it with the milk and coffee. "Which one do you like?"

"Both. But I want two glasses. I don't like mixed them." With a smile, Soren walked up to her and hugged her. While saying that, he went to pour milk and coffee for himself, and only poured a cup of milk for Elsa. He said, "Drink this. It's healthier."

Elsa put the steaming beef pies on the plate and took it out. She still ate vegetables.

Yesterday's heavy mood was swept away in this good morning. Both of them enjoyed the meal. Soren looked at his watch and said, "Elsa, aren't you in a hurry to go to work today?"

"I haven't had time to tell you that I have been lent to the cultural department for a period of three months. It's not the time to go to work today, so I can take a break first."

"Really? Why?" Soren asked with great interest.

Elsa thought for a while and said, "I was borrowed once two years ago. At the end of the year, I helped to sort out and sort out all kinds of documents. There was nothing difficult to do with this job. It was all trivial. But too many things have happened in the newspaper office recently, and the workplace is a little chaotic now. I'm not fit to get involved in those muddy water. So yesterday, Mr. Chen, my former editor in chief, came to borrow me, and I agreed. I just want to take this opportunity to have a rest and reconsider my work."

She always had her own ideas about work. Soren nodded approvingly, "It makes sense. As long as you think it's the right thing, don't worry."

"Hm. By the way, do you want to go to the company today?" Elsa asked.

"Don't worry. I'll call and arrange the work. Let's have a good rest today." Then Soren made a phone call.

In the past, Elsa liked drinking coffee when she was working on her draft. Now that she saw that Soren was enjoying his coffee, she couldn't help reaching out to take his coffee cup. When she was about to drink it, Soren finished the phone call and came back to catch her. He immediately stopped her hand. As soon as Elsa was caught, she said, "The weather is good today, ha-ha."

When he was about to withdraw her hand, Soren touched her nose and said, "According to the book, you'd better not drink coffee when you are preparing for pregnancy."

"No, I didn't want to drink it. I just want to get you another glass of it after you finish it." Elsa escaped his staring and said, "And... It's not my own business to get pregnant. Then you can't drink it either."

Soren picked up the cup and drank it up, "Only this time. I won't drink it again."

Looking at the coffee cup, Elsa swallowed.

Soren handed the glass of milk to her, but she had to take it and drink it all.

Soren took her hand and put it in front of him. Her nails were clean and there was no trace of nail polish. Because the bad habit of biting nails had been changed, every nail was beautiful, and the color was red and ruddy. It was not like before that they were always bitten.

"I'll take you to eat something today," Soren said with a smile.

Before dinner, the two of them cleaned up the house, washed the clothes they had changed, and made the house spotless before going out.

Elsa had never been to this restaurant before, but Soren didn't let her order by herself. He was always considerate, so Elsa didn't listen to him when ordering.

However, when all the dishes were served, Elsa was a little surprised, because none of them were vegetable dishes, all of which were meat dishes. She was a little embarrassed. "Ren, I haven't practiced these yet. I can eat them all..."

Soren handed her the chopsticks, picked up a piece of roast pork for her, and said with a smile, "Have a try. Guess what this is."

Elsa didn't want to refuse his kindness. She picked it up. She felt a little uncomfortable when she smelled it. She put down her chopsticks and said apologetically, "Ren, I'm really sorry. I can't eat it."

"Silly girl, this is made of winter melon. It seems that it really looks like roast pork. I just heard about this restaurant a few days ago. The owner of this restaurant pushed a series of vegetables, but made them into meat dishes, so that those girls who lose weight don't need to be afraid of eating vegetables." Soren ate a piece of it with a smile, "It's really winter melon, but it does have a little meat flavor. But I have told the kitchen to try their best to reduce the meat smell."

"Really?" Elsa asked in surprise. She picked up a piece of it. Thanks to her recent exercise, she had learned to eat some meat, so the faint taste of meat did not become a hindrance. She picked up the food into her mouth and tasted it. It was really winter melon. She could not help but smile, "It's true. You didn't lie to me."

"When did I lie to you?" Soren smiled and picked up more for her.

The other dishes were also made of all kinds of vegetables, but they were all made into the meat style with very exquisite cutting skills and cooking techniques. A little meat oil was added, but the meat was abandoned. Therefore, Elsa could begin to accept the light taste of the meat.

Later, Soren took her to eat two more times, and gradually told the kitchen to put more meat oil in the dishes. Unknowingly, Elsa could accept more meat flavor. After eating, she would not have the nausea that she had caused after swallowing the meat before.

It took Soren a long time and effort to let her get used to it. In fact, it was a personal choice whether she ate meat or not. Besides, Elsa had her own reasons. Soren didn't want to force her, but every time he saw her so thin, he worried that she didn't have enough nutrition. He also thought that if she was really pregnant in the future, she would have to suffer a lot if she was too thin, so he tried every means to help her adapt at this time.

Elsa understood her efforts, so she gave her the biggest psychological hint, trying not to reject, trying to accept and adapt psychologically, so that she was not only good to herself, but also did not fail his efforts.

The two of them had suffered a lot but also enjoyed a lot in their efforts, and they had experienced a lot together. As a result, they got closer to each other.

It had been a few days since Elsa arrived at the cultural department. Yates was a straightforward person. On the first day, he arranged the work to the formal employee and asked her and Elsa to cooperate with the people borrowed from different departments to complete the work. Elsa had no objection to this and soon devoted herself to her work.

In this kind of company, formal employees usually didn't work. That person gave all the work to Elsa. Fortunately, Elsa had done such a job once, so she didn't care about such arrangement and tried her best to do her own things. Although the formal employee didn't work, she was easy to get along with. She chatted with Elsa while playing with her phone.

Elsa was busy with her work. She didn't talk much when she was busy, and she only talked with her for a while when she was not busy. Everything was fine.

One day, after work, Elsa went out for lunch. Not far away from the door, she ran into Caspar. Elsa didn't know whether she was destined to have a grudge against the Qiao family or not. Coincidentally, Caspar didn't see her, so she pretended not to see him and walked away in a distance.

In fact, Caspar saw her. He was surprised to see her. 'Who transferred her to the cultural department?' The subordinates were often borrowed to work. Some of them were borrowed, and they were sent back after the work was over. Some of them who were related or scheming would take this opportunity to climb up and stay here.

The cultural department was in the building of the municipal government. There were many opportunities to meet various leaders here.

Was it because of Elsa's intention or someone else that she was borrowed here?

The last person Caspar wanted to have this idea was Jason.

With an instinctive prejudice, when Caspar saw Jason, the father and son quarreled with each other again.

They didn't want to meet each other. But when Elsa came back, she met the secretary of Jason. He pushed Caspar outside while persuading him. He said in a low voice, "My young master, this is the municipal government. If you make trouble here, you will slap your father in the face directly, won't you?"

Caspar looked unhappy. At the sight of Elsa, he pushed away the secretary's hand, straightened his clothes and forced a smile as he greeted, "Sister in law."

Out of politeness, Elsa nodded as a sign and left quickly.

She had seen Caspar several times, and the scenes were all very strange. It seemed that Caspar was either for Candice or for the matter of Jason. It seemed to have something to do with Elsa, but it had nothing to do with her. So Elsa didn't think too much.

The work in the cultural department went smoothly. Elsa was a plain and gentle girl. Although she wouldn't be liked by others at the first sight, after getting along with her for a long time, they could really feel her sincerity and gentleness. Soon she got along well with everyone. In addition, she had a stable environment and working time, so she was much happier at work than in the newspaper office.

Elsa didn't expect that things between Mr. Maurice and Jane would go so fast. On Saturday, as soon as she and Soren got up, he received a call from Mr. Maurice, who said that he had an appointment with Jane. Soren said, "Just meet her. Why do you report to me?

"Well... I want to meet her at your home." Soren put his phone on speaker. Mr. Maurice's loud voice sounded a little awkward. Elsa was folding the quilt. She burst into laughter and pictured the blush on the strong Mr. Maurice's face.

Hearing her laughter, Mr. Maurice said, "I just want to ask Mrs. Elsa for help if I'm in trouble! Sir, I will repay you and Mrs. Elsa!"
